This did not sit well with the Twitter feed at think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which describes itself as a “bipartisan” institution that deals with international issues. CSIS tweeted out this in response:

“Early this morning, an unconscionable tweet was directed to Amnesty from CSIS’s Twitter account (@CSIS),” CSIS Senior Vice President For External Relations Andrew Schwartz told Buzzfeed. “The tweet in no way reflects CSIS’s views. It was sent by a CSIS intern who had access to our account for monitoring purposes.

“Apparently he meant to send something reflecting his personal views from his personal Twitter account. I find his views and the way he expressed them to be abhorrent and will take appropriate action at CSIS to address the matter internally.”

When Buzzfeed asked if they would fire the intern, Schwartz told Buzzfeed they are “handling the matter internally.”
